A strong bitter with a rich brown colour and a strength of 5.2% abv. The full flavour is derived from the recipe of Pale Ale Malt, Torrefied Wheat, Invert Sugar and Roast Barley. The hop blend is from finest English Fuggles and Challenger. The rich raisin character is a result of the fermenttaion of the dark sugars from the Invert sugar & Roast Barley. A palate fullness is another characteristic of this beer.

On cask at The Reindeer, Norwich. Dark amber body with small off-white head. Caramel aroma. Flavour has got hints of malt, dried grape (or raisin) and a touch of toffee. Hard to discern any bitterness (25.09.2006)

Cask handpull at Leading Light, JDW, Faversham. Chestnut colour with thin beige head. Choc aroma, sweetish dry malt. Very malty flavour. Rich fruit as well. Some dryness on end. Not a massive hop presence. Some spice on end. Dry choc malt is excellent. Satisfying beer to wash down breakfast at 11 on a Saturday morning.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is deep ruby or copper. Fruity, malty nose and a malty taste, starts a bit sweet, but becomes drier and finishes with a nice, long bitter finish. A hint of oranges and a fresh hoppy taste. Nice and tasty.
